3 cool things to do in Sussex this weekend from March 24-26

3CNorth are musical chefs, providing a buffet of sounds for listeners to enjoy.

The crowd is treated to classic pop and Southern-rock standards from Lynard Skynard, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tom Petty, The Band, Dire Straits and The Grateful Dead.

But that’s not all. The crew includes tropical tunes from Bob Marley, Jack Johnson and Jimmy Buffet. Their catalog also offers contemporary music like Modest Mouse, Cake, Gnarles Barkley, Daft Punk, Sublime and The Killers.

And, of course, there’s always room for Johnny Cash, Travis Tritt, The Zac Brown Band and David Allen Coe for any country fans.

3CNorth will hold it down from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Friday. Admission is free.

The guys then bake these ingredients into a hearty treat they share with live audiences. And Melodime does a lot of sharing, because they perform more than 100 shows annually throughout the United States.

They accomplish this while running the charity Now I Play Along Too, which provides musical instruments and lessons to underprivileged children.

Melodime will hook Delaware up with its brand of country-rock from 10 p.m. to midnight, Friday. Admission is free.

3. Cash is king

Fans of the Man in Black might want to check out David Stone: The Johnny Cash Experience.

This is a Broadway-quality show that plays predominantly to a new generation of listeners too young to have seen Cash in concert.

The show takes audiences through the late country legend’s career, covering his early tunes, including Johnny Cash and June Carter, and the Folsom Prison concert era.

TJCE is on a mission to deliver an accurate, note-for-note representation of Cash at 8 p.m., Friday. Tickets are $15 to $20.
